Application

Lithium Ethoxide is primarily employed as a strong base in organic synthesis, facilitating deprotonation reactions and the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. It is commonly used in the preparation of esters, alkoxides, and other lithium-based intermediates. Researchers also utilize it in polymerization catalysts and battery electrolyte formulations. Its moisture sensitivity requires handling under inert atmospheres, making it ideal for controlled reactions in anhydrous conditions.
